Dear Andrea, Shelley and all the FSGV awesome team!

​Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It was a long process and hard at times.

I am so happy to have her home safe with me now.

It could never have happened without your passion and dedication to international adoption.

We feel bless to have scored you (Andrea) as our social worker!

​You are so gentle, empathetic, dedicated, straight forward, and practical!

We cannot tell you how many times we felt relieved and at peace after talking through difficulties with you. You have been a rock to us.

We were immediately impressed by how friendly everyone was... The info sessions were immensely useful...

I was particularly impressed by the importance that FSGV placed on ensuring that the birth mom has all the support she needs...

We were contacted on a regular basis, and any questions that arose were rapidly dealt with.

We adopted our son in June 2011 and the whole process was a wonderful experience.

Last week it was 10 years since we got the phone call from you saying [our son's] birth family had chosen our file!

I just wanted to thank you for all your support through those challenging years and for helping us create our family.
